book-making workshop
Saturday 25 February 12—4.30PM
Doug and Victoria will introduce the process of working with print-on-demand online services as well as the do-it-yourself desktop option. A range of practical exercises will assist in the creation of a self-published photobook. Participants will explore book construction, design, typography and layout then apply them to the creation of a “prototype” that will serve as the first draft of their photobook idea.
This workshop is suited to anyone with an interest in curating their personal photo collection for print. All materials supplied.
This workshop will include a half hour lunch break. BYO lunch or purchase from Munro+Sargeant Café at the Gallery.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS: Victoria Cooper and Doug Spowart founded the Antipodean Photobook Blog as a way to connect Australian and New Zealand photobook makers, designers and publishers with the international scene. Cooper and Spowart have lectured nationally and internationally on the topic of photobooks. Both have completed individual PhD studies in photography, photobooks, and artists’ books. Their book works have been acquired for the photobook, artists’ books and rare book collections in many private, national, and state libraries and international collections including the British Library. Both Cooper and Spowart have judged photobook awards and have contributed to photobook review panels in Australia. Doug’s research on Australian and New Zealand photobooks was featured at the Vienna Photobook Festival and they were commissioned by Tate Britain to select a collection of these to compliment the Martin Parr Collection of Photobooks.
